title: The use of video clips in teleconsultation for preschool children with movement disorders.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the reliability and validity of video clips in assessing movement disorders in preschool children.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study group included 27 children with neuromotor concerns. The explorative validity group included children with motor problems (n = 21) or with typical development (n = 9). Hempel screening was used for live observation of the child, full recording, and short video clips. The explorative study tested the validity of the clinical classifications "typical" or "suspect."
  
  
  RESULTS
  Agreement between live observation and the full recording was almost perfect; Agreement for the clinical classification "typical" or "suspect" was substantial. Agreement between the full recording and short video clips was substantial to moderate. The explorative validity study, based on short video clips and the presence of a neuromotor developmental disorder, showed substantial agreement.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hempel screening enables reliable and valid observation of video clips, but further research is necessary to demonstrate the predictive value.
